On Transport Infrastructure Ireland, an issue that came up at a previous meeting was to do with people who, for convenience, put in a large amount of money when travelling through a toll but do not wait for their change or whatever. That amounts to a significant sum. I do not know whether we were in correspondence about this after the question was raised or whether I read it in a newspaper but it amounted to a lot of money. I am interested to know how that is treated in terms of taxation. Are the companies allowed to keep it as profit or should we be prevailing upon them to make it available to charitable organisations?
